“I would disagree that [women] are emotionally stronger than men, because in certain situations, men are stronger. When it comes to adapting and handling pressure, I do feel women are stronger as we face all sorts of pressures which men do not. Women are more answerable, with more expectations they have to handle. I think we do adapt to situations better; for example, I moved to Abu Dhabi because my husband got a job here.”
